Samed is expected to eventually turn a comfortable profit-something that appeals more and more to the P.L.O.'s fiscal managers.

To gain the political support of the rabbis, Begin agreed to a list of 30 demands on religion-related issues, among them: autopsies will only be performed with a family's consent; women will only be able to get abortions for medical reasons instead of citing, as they now may, difficult "social or family conditions"; Sabbath observance will be tightened; girls opposed to military duty for religious...
